Competition Results for 2018
UD Student, Centerville High School Graduate and 5x World Champion
Centerville High School graduate Vincent Meng recently returned from China with some heavy metals. He led the US National Team at the First World Open Wing Chun Championship in Foshan, China and won Grand Champion (male) and took gold in the full-contact fighting in the 70kg division.
Wing Chun is a traditional martial art from China made popular in the West first by Bruce Lee and has seen a surge in recent years due to the success of the Ip Man series of movies. Vincent’s father, Grand Master Benny Meng is a recognized world leader in the Wing Chun system, curator of the Ving Tsun Museum in Huber Heights, and founder of Shaolin Wing Chun. Meng’s Martial Arts has two locations locally – North Dayton in Huber Heights and South Dayton in Centerville next door to Magsig Middle School.
Vincent started training in the martial arts when he was 3 years old and set his sights on the Olympics. He continues to train on a very regimented schedule, while maintaining a high GPA at the University of Dayton, and take time to coach the Centerville middle school wrestling program. He currently holds 5 World Titles in four separate combat sports, the only person to have such an accomplishment.
